Exploring Backwater Frog Fishing with Keith Poche

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Great video! My new favorite fishing channel. Nice explanation of techniques for fishing frogs.

[@Wired2Fish]

Awesome, glad to have you in our space Patrick? Where do you live and what types of fishing do you do?

Awesome lesson, Keith. My frog-box is looking like a line of race-horses at the start-gate!!

[@shadygraves]

Keith makes a great point on popping frogs! I never saw the infatuation with popping frogs. I know they're a good option at times; a mayfly hatch, when bass feed heavily on bluegills, for instance. The fact remains that the trade-off of sound vs. weedlessness is one I'm simply not going to make 95% of the time. That's generally the whole reason I employ a frog; for it's ability to come through ANYTHING without snagging. Good stuff! 🐸

[@marcuslinton310]

Poppin frogs are for open log areas, stumps, etc. not grass and weeds. I'd rather use a whopper plopper or buzzbait in those situations, but sometimes they just want that darn frog.

Nice fishing Keith!

Did he jump a wingdam to get back there too? #heyoo #toosoon ??

[@douglasschmidt6873]

Yep

[@jensendejesus6629]

Can I ask what type of line you used for this video? To get that distance

[@Michaeldpress14]

65lb braid

[@JaylenEban]

If u don’t hear drag and you see them easily tugging fish under 10 pounds more than likely using heavy braid

[@CaseyLewis442]

Was that straight braid? If so what pound test?

[@Wired2Fish]

Yes, straight braid. Keith was using 50lb, but one could always bump up to 65lb for even heavier applications. You can find the braid here: www.tacklewarehouse.com/Spiderwire_DuraBraid_Braided_Line_Moss_Green/descpage-SWDB.html

What you doing? Bass: me………just hanging around

[@PHATBASSASSASSIN]

It was like that last year where every fish counted

[@slabslayer258]

Every fish don’t count in MLF they do the biggest 5

[@A1K3NFISHING]

You should go look up major league fishing aka MLF. Then I think you are coming back deleting this comment.

@@A1K3NFISHING maybe I’m reading the rules wrong on the MLF app on my phone and they need to fix their rules they have posted

@@slabslayer258 go google the MLF (MLF World Championship) rules. Bassmaster elites and pro circuits are best 5. MLF is an unlimited amount of legal fish in the shotgun round. They have way more rules than Im going to copy and paste. That’s what Keith was talking about here.

10:1 reel.? I guess it’s great for catching dinks but he could barely reel in the fish covered in grass.? Keep riding over those dams bub, it seems to be working for you 😏

[@javathehut6415]

Js. You tell him

[@rippin_lipps_doe.8006]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 y’all be mad weird in the comments lol

[@bridgelaurie9490]

A high speed reel is always better for frogs. You are fishing a very limited target zone, you want to be able to cast alot, you also need to be able to reel in the line fast to hook set and lastly retrieve the fish fast to keep it out of muck.
